Ubuntu 15.04 (Vivid Vervet) Flavors Ready For Download

Xubuntu 15.04

Xubuntu is an Ubuntu flavor which uses Xfce, a fast, light desktop environment.



For what's new in Xfce 4.12, see THIS article.

Changes in Xubuntu 15.04 include:

• Xfce Window manager now supports window previews and comes with corner-tiling and better support for client-side decoration apps;
• LightDM GTK+ Greeter Settings, a tool which allows changing various login screen settings, is now installed by default;
• Xfce Power Manager now handles light-locker’s settings in its “Security” tab;
• the panel now has an intelligent hiding mode;
• the display dialog comes with improved support for multiple monitors;
• the appearance dialog shows previews for theme styles and icons;
• improved Qt apps appearance (the GTK theme is used now) however, Qt apps continue ignore the currently set icon theme;
• Xfce apps:
  
  • Mousepad text editor was rewritten, getting support for GTK3 along with a settings dialog;
  • new/updated Xubuntu light and dark color schemes in Mousepad and Terminal;
  • The Xfce Task Manager has received a new user interface with GTK3 support along with a process filter;
  • improved keyboard navigation for Thunar.

Ubuntu GNOME 15.04

As far as I'm aware, the only app that wasn't updated to version 3.14 (it's still at version 3.10.x) is Gedit.

GNOME 3.14 brings quite a few changes, including:

• multi-touch gestures for both the system and applications (for touchscreen devices only);
• improved support for Wi-Fi hotspots;
• network-based sharing (WebDAV, DLNA and VNC will now remember which network you want them to be active on);
• enhanced geolocation framwork with the use of Mozilla's Location Service for 3G and network-based positioning;
• new animations for the Activities Overview;
• new interactive inspector which allows live examination of running GTK+ applications (can be activated via Ctrl+Shift+I);
• Evince was updated with a new design with header bars, support for removing annotations, recent documents overview and more;
• Weather has a new layout and it makes use of GNOME's geolocation framework to automatically show the weather for your current location (the Location Services feature is turned off by default - enable it via System Settings > Privacy);
• Maps was updated with a route planning feature which allows you to plan journeys by foot, bicycle or car.
